I have been teaching AutoCAD for almost thirty years. I started teaching at Illinois Technical College where I was the head of the Drafting Department. I setup and started teaching Revit at Moraine Valley Community College in 2003 and went on to develop a similar Revit program for Triton College. In 2007, I setup a credit course program at Oakton Community College in Revit and also taught AutoCAD courses. I continue to teach at a local community college to this date and I am in the process of developing a BIM-Revit certificate and associate degree program this summer to be implemented into their Engineering-CAD department program in Spring of 2014.

I have also provided training services for local Autodesk resellers and Autodesk Inc. sales staff.

My methods for training students on using Revit or AutoCAD are to use a structured tutorial courseware (i.e. Ascent Courseware) and supplement the courseware tutorials with hands on tutorials I have developed. All lessons are hands-on and I offer additional support by phone and live-webcasts between sessions.

I am a licensed architect in Illinois.

I have used Revit Architecture on my projects since Autodesk acquired them in 2002 and taught Revit Architecture since initiating the ATC (Autodesk Training Courses) at Moraine Valley Community College from 2004 - 2012. I also set up the semester courses at Triton College in 2006 and taught them up to 2011.

I also have provided private training for Architectural firms and developed and taught Revit MEP for the Chicago Mechanical Contractors Association through Moraine Valley Community College.

excellent tutor

very knowledgeable and worked at a pace which was easy to understand. Would rate Mel very high. Will assist in any way possible. I would recommend Mel very high in technical ability and working one on one with students needing help

Paul, 8 lessons with Mel

Knowledgeable and very thorough

As a beginner, Mel taught me the fundamentals of Revit. We applied topography, foundation, floors, roofs and walls. Covered most of the Architecture, Structure and Annotate tabs. He helped me with three different projects for my summer Design II course. I will book again with Mel to update my portfolio, and explore the revit families. Thank you!

Barbara, 8 lessons with Mel

Amazingly knowledgeable

Extremely helpful and experienced. Could not have hoped for a better tutor. Will definitely use again when the need arises. He really helped my daughter with her project and was available at short notice. Highly recommend!!

M, 1 lesson with Mel

Tutor with deep knowledge of Autodesk Revit.

Mel's decades of experience as an architect, as a teacher and as someone who has intimate knowledge of the history of the software make him a tutor that is head and shoulders above the rest. He will put you on the path toward Revit proficiency. Benefit from his wisdom.
